1)Do any students in your class sometimes come too late to school?
Yes, sometimes some students are late to school. Some of them are late regularly. Some are late very seldom. Almost all students try to be in time for school.
Да, иногда некоторые ученики опаздывают в школу. Некоторые регулярно опаздывают, некоторые опаздывают очень редко. Почти все ученики стараются приходить в школу вовремя.
2)What are their usual reasons for coming late?
Some students oversleep. Some students live far away from school and they are late because of transport problems. And some students are late because they can’t be in time and they are always late, they have such bad habit and they can’t do anything.
Некоторые ученики просыпают. Некоторые живут далеко от школы и они опаздывают из-за транспортных проблем. А некоторые опаздывают, потому что не могут приходить вовремя и они всегда опаздывают, это вроде плохой привычки и они ничего не могут с этим сделатью
3)Is there any punishment for late comers at your school and what is it?
I can’t say that there is some punishment for late comers at our school. If a student is late very often, teachers try to solve this problem. They talk to him after class and find out the actual reason for his late-coming and try to help him with the issue. They can talk to his parents and that is all.
Я не могу сказать. Что в нашей школе есть какие-либо наказания для опаздывающих. Если ученик часто опаздывает в школу, учителя стараются решить эту проблему. Они разговаривают с ним после уроков и узнают причину его опоздания и стараются найти выход. Они могут поговорить с его родителями и это все.
In the childhood everyone wants to resemble somebody: mother or sister, father, preschool teacher, teacher of music of a popular star. Little children always copy behavior manners of surrounding persons. With age our preferences and persons with whom we want to be alike change.
As for me, once I wanted to resemble Kate Winslet, the star of film “Titanic”. At first time I watched “Titanic” being quite little, I was about six years old, and I desired to be in Rosa’s place at once. For a long time I collected pictures with Kate and “Titanic”, but growing up gradually I changed my outlook. I don’t want to resemble somebody anymore; I want to progress and to reach success by myself. Naturally there are people whom I admire, for example: multi-talented Leonardo da Vinci, brave and creative Coco Chanel, self-sacrificing and caring Mother Teresa, master of impersonation Jonny Depp, etc. They reached greater heights in their life and left a mark in history of humanity that’s why their actions deserve respect and it is not awful that somebody wants to resemble them. One of Ten Commandments says: “
One shall not make for oneself an idol”, which means that it is necessary to follow your own way, to develop your talents and, may be, once you will become the example to follow.
